Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Al Ta'ee in 12th and Al-Thuqbah in 8th place.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Al Ta'ee form and stats

Al Ta'ee have played 12 Division 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-3-4 (wins-draws-losses). Al Ta'ee have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Stress levels are on the rise for Al Ta'ee's attacking players as they have now played 240 minutes without scoring in a league game.

The fans are hoping that Al Ta'ee will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Division 1 game against Al Najoom (placed 18th). Prior to that, an away loss at Al Jabalain.

Al Ta'ee have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa'ed Stadium with 19 goals in 12 league matches. Al Ta'ee's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 12 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Al-Thuqbah form and stats

The visitors are W5-D4-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Division 1.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Al-Thuqbah, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Al Batin (placed 2nd). Prior to that match, a home win 7-1 against Hottain.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Al-Thuqbah have scored 18 goals in 13 league games away. 16 goals have been conceded by Al-Thuqbah in these games.

Head 2 Head

Al-Thuqbah - Al Ta'ee 0-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
